Miniature Tea Bowl with Running Hare

With a form that takes influence from the traditional miniature tea bowls of the  Far East, Sarah Dalton has created an atmospheric piece of ceramic art – . The fine white earthenware provides the perfect canvas for Sarah’s artwork; accomplished using a combination of underglazes, oxides and engobes (with a subtle satin matte overglaze). The stylised running hare set against a backdrop of brooding landscape aims to invoke the atmosphere of the North Pennine moorland where Sarah lives and works. A really unusual iridescent dark interior adds further drama to the piece. The artist’s initials are inscribed into the base.
